Chapter 41 Meat Shield Attack 

Chapter 41 Meat Shield Attack 

It was much faster than before. After all, a single Placement Slot had an efficiency of "2 strands per day," and two Placement Slots yielded "4 strands per day." Placement Slot number three was reserved for the [Corpse Demon Secret Art] and couldn't be moved.

Using two Placement Slots to simultaneously cultivate the main Cultivation Method also doubled the efficiency of its derivation and advancement to a Second Rank Cultivation Method, reducing twenty years to ten, which was also a great benefit to him.

After all, the slight Aptitude improvement from the "Cold Blood Technique" was crucial for him.

On the day he emerged from seclusion, a Talisman Message was affixed to the Barrier of Wang Yu's Residence. After reading the information on it, he couldn't help but smile.

"A Second Rank Refined Corpse's arm, unexpectedly, they really found one."

Three days later, he went out to keep the appointment.

At the same time, within the gradually declining Xu Residence, the enormous Xu Jiao Jiao stood before Su Qing Shan. In her fat-stacked, slit-like eyes, a cold glint that outsiders would find hard to detect flickered. Her voice was still delicate and charming.

"Su Lang, Father-in-law was taken away by the Hall of Law Enforcement and there's no news. Are you sure it was Wang Yu who was interfering?"

"Naturally."

Su Qing Shan appeared confident, analyzing things logically, "Jiao Mei, after my investigation, the Zhu grandson and grandfather in Father-in-law's Shop were reported by Wang Yu. He also benefited from it and was noticed by Zhuo Shouqing of the Hall of Law Enforcement."

"Young Master Zhu offended the True Disciple of Evil God Peak. At the Xu Family Pill Shop, he colluded with his grandfather Master Zhu, deceiving Father-in-law and plotting to seize Xu family Resources, intending to use Spirit Stones to atone for his crime."

"This matter was disrupted by Wang Yu, and nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones were swallowed by Zhuo Shouqing. After the True Disciple of Evil God Peak learned of this, he became envious of this sum of Spirit Stones and used it as an excuse to detain Father-in-law, wanting to get a share of the pie."

"In the final analysis, it's all Wang Yu's fault!"

Su Qing Shan's investigation process was not false, and the information sources were also very accurate, proving that he did have some Skill. However, blaming Wang Yu was unreasonable.

But this was also a last resort.

Neither Zhuo Shouqing nor the Evil God Peak True Disciple were people that the Xu family and he could offend. They could only blame Wang Yu and hate Wang Yu.

Wasn't this also a kind of self-deception, an ostrich-like behavior?

Evil God Peak was already ranked at the bottom in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. For a dignified True Disciple to covet this sum of Spirit Stones was something only they could do. Steward Xu was purely unlucky.

The fact that he dared to open a Pill Shop in the Evil God Market meant that he had offended the people of Evil God Peak, because the Spirit Stones he paid were first given to the Pill Refining Hall, representing Sect orthodoxy.

Secondly, they were given to the Savage Ghost Peak of the Fifth Peak. The Xu family lineage were all disciples of Savage Ghost Peak, seeking protection.

How could Evil God Peak accept this? It was highly likely that the Evil God Peak True Disciple personally instructed Young Master Zhu and his grandfather to deceive the Xu Family Pill Shop's Resources.

Xu Jiao Jiao, due to cultivating a Demonic Path Cultivation Method obtained by her father through Opportunity, had transformed from a beautiful young woman into an ugly pig-like creature. She didn't dare to go out to meet people all day long. Her Temperament was both simple and twisted.

She was simple because she still believed in love and was willing to give Su Qing Shan the Elixir Pills she used for Cultivation, believing that after the other party broke through to Foundation Establishment, he would be able to disregard the strange gazes of the world and marry her!

She was twisted, not only because of her strange and torturous fetishes, but also because of her bizarre and perverted Personality.

Su Qing Shan guided Xu Jiao Jiao to hate Wang Yu, originally wanting to obtain Dantai Chan's secret information from Wang Yu, so as to plot for the Upper-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill in her hands.

However, since Dantai Chan returned from Heavenly Treasure City, many first-generation Foundation Establishment cultivators had fallen silent. Even the Pill Refining Hall had invited Dantai Chan to give lectures to Inner Sect disciples studying Pill Refining Art.

This greatly deterred all those with ulterior motives.

She had Backing—this was the consensus!

Thus, Su Qing Shan gave up on Dantai Chan's Opportunity and instead wanted to plot for a Foundation Establishment Opportunity from Father-in-law. After all, with Xu Jiao Jiao around, if he could sacrifice his looks and persuade him with words,

He couldn't guarantee an Upper-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, but a Lower-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill like the Reverse Blood Pill was still very likely, a fallback option.

Then... there was no then.

Steward Xu was detained, the Xu Family Pill Shop was sealed up, and there was also a huge deficit of nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones. Even if Father-in-law escaped imprisonment, preparing Foundation Establishment Pills for Xu Jiao Jiao would be a problem, let alone for him, the unmarried son-in-law.

He hated Wang Yu to the extreme. He used a Secret Art to control several Outer Sect Disciples of Five Yin Peak, driving them to lie in ambush for Wang Yu, intending to kill him quickly.

Unexpectedly, they were all counter-killed. At the critical moment, he manipulated their minds, making them reveal the three words "Xu Jiao Jiao," clearing himself of suspicion. Thus, today's matter came about.

———Another ambush!

At this moment, Wang Yu felt a deep headache. Following the principle of learning from one's mistakes, he basically didn't go into remote and out-of-the-way places. Today, he had an appointment with an Inner Sect Disciple of Heavenly Corpse Peak.

As a result, he encountered Xu Jiao Jiao near the Corpse Raising Ground of this [Heavenly Corpse Market].

The Corpse Raising Ground was equipped with a Gathering Yin Formation, covering a very wide area. Its location was also on the outermost periphery of the [Heavenly Corpse Market]. Apart from a few Pavilions where Corpse Raisers lived, it was no different from the wilderness.

The fact that the other party could locate him so accurately must mean that the Heavenly Corpse Peak Inner Sect Disciple he had an appointment with had betrayed him. Thinking of this, he tried to reason with her:

"Miss Xu, Wang Yu believes he has no grievances or hatred with you, and even helped Steward Xu. Why must you relentlessly pursue Wang Yu?"

"Relentlessly pursue you? Helped my dad?

"Utter nonsense!"

Xu Jiao Jiao's face, full of fat, revealed a ferocious rage, "When did this young lady relentlessly pursue you? It's you who won't let my Xu family off—you deserve to die!"

Wang Yu keenly sensed something was wrong, but the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Seeing the tank-like figure charging over, how could he willingly be captured?

"Humph, incorrigible!"

Today was different from the past. In the year and a half since then, Wang Yu's changes could be described as earth-shattering.

With a shift of his body, he instantly created nine Phantom Bodies, scattering in all directions in a Nine Palaces formation, forming a Sword Seal with one hand.

Beside each Phantom Body, ten sharp Ice Swords condensed, and a dense barrage of a hundred or so shot out!

Nine illusory and one real, the Ice Crystal Sword Blades gleamed with a dark light, almost impossible to distinguish.

Xu Jiao Jiao stomped her feet on the ground, sinking her Qi into her Dantian and roaring fiercely.

It was an extremely rare Sound Wave Technique. Savage Ghost Peak was famous for its powerful physique. Although it was not the orthodox Body Refiner lineage, it still obtained six parts of its essence.

This was a High-Grade Spell—Savage Ghost Roar!

Waves of piercing shrieks stirred up sound waves visible to the naked eye. The false Ice Swords condensed by the Phantom Bodies all dissipated. Only the Ice Sword cast by Wang Yu's real body continued to advance.

With this, Xu Jiao Jiao swung her large arm, and her right hand was suddenly enveloped in black mist, swelling several times in size, transforming into a black ghost hand that swept away all the Ice Swords.

Wang Yu revealed a solemn expression. The Cultivation Level Xu Jiao Jiao displayed had shockingly reached Qi Condensation Eighth Layer, a full three Cultivation Realm difference. The pressure surged!

He once again performed Hand Seals to increase the Spell's power.

"Ice Coffin Spell: Bind!"

The temperature rapidly decreased, and frost condensed on the ground. Four ice walls also appeared around Xu Jiao Jiao, instantly closing in.

Immediately afterward, the top and bottom openings were sealed by ice crystals, and a giant ice coffin floated horizontally in the air.
